Abstract
Three polymorphic modifications of CKD-602, water soluble derivative of camptothecin, were obtained by the recrystallization from different organic solvents and characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD). The major endothermic peaks of the DSC curve of Form 1, Form 2 and Form 3 was shown at , , , respectively. Form 2 was elucidated to be an acetic acid solvate and Form 3 was elucidated to be a methanol solvate. The dissolution patterns of these three modifications were also checked in distilled water at , for 30 minutes. The polymorphic modifications showed differences in the dissolution rate. The dissolution rate of Form 1 was faster than that of other polymorphic modifications. When stored at different relative humidity over the period of 3 months, all of the polymorphic modifications did not undergo transformation.
